Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Kernel in OCAML using native compiler
Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2001 08:01:44 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011231160144.47824.qmail@web10705.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
I hope you don't mind if I ask you another question
conscerning writing a kernel in OCAML. I was writing
a few programs to find primes in C and in OCAML so
that I could compare the performance. It appears that
OCAML offers a very nice compromise of code length and
code execution speed. However, I also noticed
occasional pauses in the primes generation during
which (I assume) OCAML was doing its (two levels) of
garbage collection. I fear that reference counting
might be a more appropriate algorithm for *GC in a
kernel* than what I guess is two levels of mark and
sweep.
Can you comment on this or perhaps offer any
workarounds? I did play with the Gc module's control
structure, but didn't really gain any huge
improvements.
Thanks for your time,
-jj
